“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest ... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires, and to affection for a few persons nearest us

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature in its beauty.”Albert Einstein

"I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible."- Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

Your island may have lost its former empire, and its delusions of colonial glory, but it has never lost the crown of chronology: time here in S.E. Asia, where I live, is measured as an offset from GMT !

Now here, we do not observe "Daylight Savings Time," but that's no slight on Old Blighty: while the creator of DST was born on your island, he grew up in New Zealand, and was an adult, there, when he proposed the idea, after an experience with Maori hallucinogens, so he can certainly be excluded from consideration as a true native sod.

Sweet! As evidenced by recent events it's obvious that the "experiment" here across the pond has failed. I for one welcome our new yellow toothed overlords and can't wait for the free cradle to grave services.

Long live the King! Ummmm... Queen? Who do we bow to at the moment?

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington
